It’s my birthday. Yay… I don’t know why I’m not big on celebrating. Never have been. I think I write this to myself every year. If it was left to me, I would just let the day quietly pass by like just another day. But people around me seem to have made it their mission to mark the occasion in their own way. Don’t get me wrong, I still find it sweet, and thoughtful. I’m always a good sport and go along with it.
The real highlight this year? My business partner. The guy’s love language is clearly gift-giving, even though he knows I’m too bashful to accept presents just because it’s my birthday. The week leading up, wife said she’s never seen this level of precision planning and thought with her and their two children. But I’ve got to hand it to him, I was impressed. And while some of these gifts were definitely for him as much as for me, he nailed it. Here’s what he got me:
Overall, super thoughtful on his part. Definitely one to remember. He has officially ruined the curve for everyone else. Excuse me while I draft a text letting my girlfriend know she may need to step up her birthday gift game.
